Really really disappointed.
Cons:

The accommodation was advertised and booked as an “apartment with sea view,” which was the sole reason for choosing this property. Upon arrival, it became immediately clear that the room did not have a sea view.

When this issue was raised with the property, I was informed that the room only offered a partial sea view and that the listing had since been updated. However, I have clear screenshot evidence from the time of booking showing that the room was advertised as having a sea view. Updating the listing after a booking has been made does not change what was originally sold and paid for.
Throughout the stay, I repeatedly contacted the property requesting either a move to a sea-view room or an appropriate partial refund. Despite these requests, no alternative room was provided, even though rooms appeared to be unoccupied at various points. After some initial communication, the property stopped responding entirely and ignored further messages, leaving the issue unresolved before checkout.

This lack of communication, combined with the misleading room description and failure to offer any resolution during the stay, was extremely disappointing and had a significant negative impact on what was meant to be a special family occasion.

Pros:

Location is very central and convenient. Great price and good communication from staff. Place was clean.

Cons:

Couldn't see out the window. No tea towel to dry dishes. Beds quite small and only 1 pillow each. Those little extras go a long way for comfort.

Enjoyed my stay
Pros:

The room was nice, clean, comfortable and the location was 30 seconds away from the seafront. I enjoyed my time there. I was located room 1 on the ground floor and despite the negative comments on another review site I found the room to be extremely quiet. In fact I hardly heard anyone else in the accommodation during my stay. Also I really appreciated the kitchenette and good quality heater in the room. The room was lovely and warm. I found the bed to be comfortable and had no problem with the two pillows. Some of the negative comments here and on Tripadvisor are not justified. The accommodation was easy to enter with the two key codes and communication was good. I had a nice stay and thank you.

Cons:

There was nowhere to put small clothing items, underwear, socks etc and a chest of drawers is probably needed. There is plenty of space for one. Apart from that, there was nothing I didn't like.

Facilities weren’t great but was clean and in a good location
Pros:

The property was in a great location & was relatively clean & easy to access.

Cons:

The toilet wouldn’t flush and caused an issue, we only had one pillow each that was really flat so had to roll our clothes underneath, my partner didn’t sleep the whole time we were there. We then tried to use the facilities such as the appliances but when plugged in it tripped all the electric so had to go to shop for something everyday.
